Your Excuse-Proof Workout Plan

You've worked too hard in anticipation of bikini season to let summer travel set you back. These six moves require nothing more than what you'd already have in a hotel room, at the airport, or even on the open road so you can stay fit on the fly.

How it works: Do 1 set of each exercise back to back. After you complete the last move in the circuit, rest up to 2 minutes, and repeat the full circuit one more time.

The end of your vacation doesn't have to mean the end of this workout! You can do this routine at home up to four nonconsecutive days a week.

Pushup Pike Press

Reps: 10

Begin in a straight-arm plank with feet slightly wider than hip width. Slowly lower body until chest is a few inches above the floor, elbows bent by sides [photo A].

Quickly push back up to full plank, and then pike hips up, bringing chest toward thighs, pressing heels down to the floor (soften knees or keep heels slightly lifted if needed) [photo B]. Return to start. That's one rep. Do 10 reps.

Lie facedown with arms extended overhead in a 'Y' shape, thumbs pointing up to ceiling, feet hip width, toes pointed. Extend spine and lift chest and thighs as high off the floor as possible (keep focus down to avoid neck strain) [photo A].

Maintaining extension, bend knees, and curl heels into body (knees may open to sides) until feet touch, bending elbows in by sides and pressing shoulder blades down to hips [photo B]. Extend arms and legs back out, and then return to start. That's one rep. Do 10 reps.
